302 Night Battle at Immortal Ridge
Just when the southern part of the Chu State was staging a good show of a thousand-mile pursuit, on the Immortal Ridge of Zhongzhou Mountain, the bloody battle had lasted for two days.
Xianren Ridge, this is an east-west ridge with an average height of about 200 meters, this is the lowest ridge in Zhongzhou Mountain, and this is also the shortest distance from the Yuan Qi Great Array.
Xianren Ridge is not steep, it is a large gentle slope as a whole, with some boulders scattered on it, and there is no terrain that is too difficult to walk.
At the earliest, Master Tongxuan was ready to completely blow up the Immortal Ridge, but in fact, it was not a collapse, Master Tongxuan meant to reduce the height of the Immortal Ridge, and by the way, remove the rocks that hindered the entry of the troops, only in this way could the army of flowing fire be able to enter the Yuan Qi Great Array very smoothly.
It's a pity that Master Tongxuan didn't complete this plan for various reasons, and Master Tongxuan, on the contrary, became Yufei's prisoner.
Since Master Tongxuan's plan can't be completed, then let's use their stupid method of flowing fire. There is only one way to attack.
It was already the evening of the second day of the bloody battle, and the southern slope of the Immortal Ridge was already full of corpses, messy feathered arrows stuck in the pile of rocks, and huge crossbow arrows that had lost their power fell to the ground scattered. There was still green smoke from the burning hot oil between the cracks in the stones, and under the evening sunset, Wu Zhan was leading this team of 1,000 people to quietly lurk behind the rocks at the foot of the mountain.
In the sky at this time, it was the moment when the trebuchet was majestic, and this expedition also brought out Peishui's godsmith hammer, and by the way, it also brought a large number of carefully made heavy weapons.
There were more than 150 tall trebuchets, and each heavy salvo could send the earth to shake the dust, and when hundreds of boulders smashed on the ridge of the Immortal Ridge at the same time, the attack power that even the Awakened could not resist. There is even a phenomenon of great mastery being smashed and vomiting blood.
Yu Fei and Li Xiao didn't think about counterattacking, but the defense of the military formation guarding the trebuchet group was too tight, and once Yu Linglong and Sima Chen led more than a dozen great masters to sneak attack the trebuchet group, but before they could cast a spell, they had already been discovered by Liu Lao.
This is good, without waiting for Liu Lao to make a move, the six thousand bow and crossbow phalanx completely scared these twelve great masters back with a rapid triple shot.
The overwhelming black iron armor-piercing arrows hit the Yuan Qi shield on their bodies like a torrential rain, and everyone's energy and vitality were used to desperately resist the piercing power of this sky, and no one could release any spells. Coupled with Liu Lao's eagerness to try, these guys have no other way but to escape.
Since the sneak attack fails, then attack openly. Anyway, the Yu family also has a lot of trebuchets in their hands, and they can't be wrong with a condescending range. However, they clearly underestimated the Skywalker's combat prowess, and when their trebuchet was first launched, it was already burned by the Skywalkers who had suddenly killed out before they could fire it twice.
The battle that followed was very depressing, and every time the fire trebuchet group was launched, all the allied forces of the Yuli family on the ridge had to withdraw, and they could only let the rain of stone bullets smash their hard-to-build defense line to pieces.
Once the trebuchet attack had stopped, they hurried out of the shelter and reoccupied the ridge. Because they knew that when the trebuchet attack stopped, that was the beginning of hand-to-hand combat.
Today is no exception, when the evening sun is about to set, the trebuchet group finally rests. The more than 1,000 Black Iron Legions led by Wu Zhan were the first to charge towards the ridge, it was a run of speed, and they had to rush up and rush up for hand-to-hand combat before the defensive line on the ridge was re-established by the enemy.
The Black Iron Legion was followed by a thousand Blizzard guards and a thousand hunters, all veterans of field warfare, who were waiting for the night battle after the sun set.
Sure enough, the darkness of the night reduced the enemy's efficiency, and when they were the first to rush up the ridge, the Blood Lion Legion and the Flame Legion had not even organized their crossbow teams until now. It was at that moment that a fierce hand-to-hand fight broke out.
On the ridge, which is more than 1,000 meters long, there are pitch-black figures everywhere, and the soldiers who rushed up from the south side of the ridge one after another did not stop at all. These mortal soldiers in black iron equipment simply ignored the oncoming sword slash, nor did they care about the magic light shooting from afar, and in their eyes, it was either you or I died.
The tall martial arts in the crowd is the most lethal type, and he has already become a general, and he desperately asked for battle to get this opportunity, and it is said that a high-ranking general like him will not come up in hand-to-hand combat unless he has to do so. But this belligerent fellow, seeing the melee ahead, couldn't bear it, and pleaded with the fire ten times before he could get the plan for this battle.
"Brothers, follow me... Lao Tzu stood at the front of the military formation, and he would never take half a step back..."
"Whoever sees Lao Tzu take half a step back, anyone can kill me on the spot..."
"... Lord Drifting Fire brought us thousands of miles here, not to let us accept defeat..."
"Victory... We just want to win..."
The martial arts battle has really matured, and in addition to the fierce battle, he has not forgotten to boost morale. Inspired by his example, all the soldiers, including those of the Hou family and the Shi family, went crazy.
"Kill... Those who are officials are not afraid of death, what are we soldiers afraid of..."
The roaring soldier stabbed his spear into the enemy's heart, completely ignoring the sword light coming from the left and right. The black iron soldier who broke the sword actually pounced on the enemy in front of him, and the two of them scuffled tightly on the ground until they were strung with a sugar gourd by a javelin.
The Blizzard guard, who was injured and fell to the ground, suddenly discovered that there was an awakened person hiding behind the rock, and such an awakened person was secretly casting spells. I didn't know the strength of the wounded soldier, but a tiger leap threw the awakened person to the ground, his teeth clenching at the major artery in his throat.
The hunters, who are the best at fighting in the wild, picked up the two-handed battle axes that fought against the orcs back then, killing the enemy like a whirlwind, rolling up a rain of blood.
Gradually, the defenders on the ridge were a little overwhelmed, and they didn't know whether it was the officers of the Blood Lion or the officers of the Flames, and suddenly roared angrily in the chaos.
"Open the door... We need reinforcements..."
The sound was accompanied by ten huge portals that suddenly appeared on the northern slope of the ridge, and from these flashing white portals, countless soldiers in armor suddenly poured out.
Wu Zhan was already crazy at this time, he looked at the few flashing portals, and screamed in his mouth.
"it, I've finally forced their reserves out, brothers....do you want to kill them and see what's in the illusion..."
"Kill it...", thousands of soldiers cheered collectively, and at that moment, the morale of the legion had reached its peak.
At this moment, a familiar and calm command suddenly came from behind Wu Zhan.
"Crossbowman, raise three fingers... "It was actually the sound of flowing fire, and the flowing fire actually rushed to the front line.
Accompanied by the sound of flowing fire, there was a dense sound of bowstrings, and in such a dark night, the flowing fire was able to command a full thousand crossbowmen to carry out a covering attack.
At this time, Liuhuo did not rush forward to fight eagerly, on the contrary, he spread his powerful and perverted divine consciousness to the entire Immortal Ridge, and in his divine consciousness, the pitch-black Immortal Ridge was actually seen so clearly.
Where did the advance of his own army rush to, and the enemy retreated there, it was so clear in the consciousness of the flowing fire. Not only did the fire see it, but even the professor saw it clearly. At this time, the professor was already shouting excitement.
"Forty-five degree angles, three shots in a row..."
"Two thumbs away from the west, free fire..."
"Large-angle parabolic shots....there are awakened ones in the farthest distance..."
The professor shouted in the divine consciousness, and the flowing fire repeated in reality, and the dense bow and crossbow array of a thousand people was as if the divine eye was planted, and the feathered arrows in the sky were actually more accurate than in the daytime.
When the sound of flowing fire came from the hillside, and when the feather arrow support arrived in the sky, the morale of the Flowing Fire Coalition was already bursting.
"King Pei Shui... Long live the God of Light...", there was an instant cheer on the battlefield.
At this time, the professor was so excited that he changed the appearance of more than a dozen animals and plants, and he rushed to the flow of fire to ask for credit.
"Look, it's still my way, okay? That is, I'm smart enough to come up with such a way to use your powerful divine sense, if it were all up to you stupid attacks, I guess I wouldn't be able to take the Immortal Ridge in my life..."
Liuhuo has no time to deal with the nagging professor, he is now focusing all his energy on using his divine sense to explore the terrain, and now is the critical moment to turn the tide of the battle, whether he can stabilize his position on the ridge of Immortal Ridge depends on this hammer deal.
At this critical moment, more than a dozen points of light suddenly lit up from the distance of the northern hillside. The point of light grew brighter and brighter. Accompanied by this burst of light, a strange gust of wind pushed towards the position.
The flowing fire hasn't reacted yet, but the professor is already anxious, "Withdraw the troops, it's the wind blade qi wall... That's the Wind Blade Qi Wall that the Great Masters have teamed up to cast..."
He also understood this indecent fire, and he struggled to shout in the night, "Retreat... The coalition forces obeyed the order, and the whole army retreated..."
They hesitated to fight, but the fire had already dragged him down the ridge, and he rolled down like a black iron ball.
"I am a stray fire, and the whole army listens to my orders....retreat... The whole army retreated..."
The Black Iron Legion, including the armies of the Shi family and the Hou family, are all well-trained veterans, and in the hearts of these soldiers, as long as it is a military order, they should obey unconditionally, even if they do not understand.
The grief-filled soldiers stomped their feet angrily at the imminent victory, but no one dared to question the order of the fire, and the retreat soon began.
The soldiers' reluctance was only a moment's work, and when the air wall more than 100 meters high was pushed along the hillside from the north, all the soldiers knew that this battle could not be fought today.
It was a miracle, the hundred-meter-high air wall was full of tumbling wind blades, and a thousand-meter-long air wall covered the entire Immortal Ridge, and it was being pushed flat from north to south.
It's so ruthless, Yufei and Li Xiao's hearts are really ruthless, now on the battlefield is not only the 4,000 soldiers under Liuhuo, but there are also more than 2,000 of their own people. They killed all of them, regardless of the enemy.
"Meat grinder, isn't this a meat grinder?" said the last retreating streamer to look at the wall of air.
"Distressed, right? I know you're already distressed, but there have been many deaths in the past two days. Hehe, Yufei and Li Xiao, you two are crying in the illusion..."
